The scaly spurfowl (Pternistis squamatus Phasianidae .
It is found in Angola , Burundi , Cameroon , Central African Republic , Republic of the Congo , Democratic Republic of the Congo , Equatorial Guinea , Ethiopia , Gabon , Kenya , Malawi , Nigeria , Rwanda , São Tomé and Príncipe , Sudan , Tanzania , and Uganda .
Taxonomy [ edit ]
The scaly spurfowl was formally described in 1857 by the American ornithologist John Cassin from specimens collected by Paul Du Chaillu in the Cape Lopez region in what is now the West Africa state of Gabon . Cassin coined the binomial name Francolinus squamatus .[2] squamatus is Latin for "scaled".[3] genus Pternistis Johann Georg Wagler in 1832.[4] [5] sister species to the Ahanta spurfowl .[6]
Three subspecies are now recognised:[5]
P. s. squamatus (Cassin , 1857) — southeast Nigeria to north and east Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), Gabon and the Republic of the Congo (R Congo)
P. s. schuetti (Cabanis , 1880) — east R Congo to Uganda, central and southwest Kenya, and central Ethiopia. Also northeast and southeast Tanzania and north Malawi (Vipya Plateau )[a]
P. s. maranensis (Mearns , 1910) — southeast Kenya, northeast Tanzania
^ Mandiwana-Neudani et al. (2019) treat P. s. schuetti as a full species, Schuett's spurfowl.[6]
